I can't recommend JuneBug Retro Resort enough as a wedding venue. We got married there in October…read more2025, and from the very beginning, the owner, Charlene, blew us away with her attitude, integrity, and thoroughness. She and the venue were the perfect fit for us. We were looking for a unique venue that celebrated our love of nature and allowed the celebration to continue into the night. Having our guests stay and camp with us in tents and the retro campers made the entire experience even more special. With all the effort and planning that goes into a wedding, one of our priorities was that the celebration didn't feel like it ended too soon. Charlene gave us incredible vendor recommendations and put us at ease countless times with her knowledge and experience. She is a rockstar! She knows how to keep things organized, how to keep everyone on track, and how to advocate for her couples when needed. Charlene, Tom, and the entire JuneBug crew are a well oiled machine that knows how to make your day run smoothly. The venue itself was absolutely beautiful, during our ceremony the creek was flowing behind us and the afternoon sun was filtering through the trees. It was peaceful and magical. There was plenty of space for guests to wander, and endless scenery options for wedding photos. The proximity to Weaverville and Asheville was also such a bonus compared to many other venues that require a longer drive. We felt that JuneBug offered incredible value for the cost. As a bride, the entire experience felt like a dreamy movie. Our original wedding date was scheduled for a week after Hurricane Helene came through, and sadly, we had to postpone. During that incredibly difficult time, Charlene showed her strength and compassion. She was there for us through the entire process of navigating a sudden rescheduling of our wedding. They were dealing with so much of their own recovery, yet they never missed a beat communicating with us and supporting us. They went through so much in the following months to make sure all of their couples still had the weddings they dreamed of. I will forever be grateful for everything they did for us, and JuneBug will always hold a very special place in my heart. You will be so glad you booked this venue!

As soon as I stumbled upon Junebug, while browsing wedding venues, I knew this was the perfect…read moreplace for our destination wedding! Our first conversation with Charlene, only further solidified that decision. We wanted to find a location with a unique, adventurous, whimsical-vibe, and could not have found a more perfect place! Not only is Charlene the kindest, sweetest person ever, but she is extremely organized and detail oriented, making the entire planning process smooth from start to finish. It was so reassuring, especially the day-of, to know she had everything handled and I could just be present and enjoy the day. Our guests have been raving about our wedding, saying it was the most fun wedding they have ever been to. Our friends loved staying in the on-site vintage campers. I would choose Junebug over and over again, and highly recommend them to anyone! I cannot say enough positive things about our experience.

It was a perfectly beautiful May evening when we attended a special wedding in the gorgeous green…read moretree-covered mountains of North Carolina. The exact location was Claxton Farm in Weaverville. Claxton Farm is a very lovely wedding venue set in a green valley and surrounded by the beautiful background of the mountains. The venue is a very nice and rustic building where there is plenty of space for round tables, serving tables, and a bar. Outside is a large wide patio where we enjoyed lots of dancing and music for hours, after the ceremony on the huge lawn and the inside seated dinner. I highly recommend Claxton Farm for a spring or fall wedding, when guests could enjoy the wonderful outdoor beauty of this location!

The modern barn, the large outdoor lawn, the fenced in farm animals, views of the mountain and close to town but off the beaten path location are just some of the attributes. I was there for a wedding a week ago. A small cabin just across the street from the barn was a prep area for the bride and her maids. It also made for a lovely photo background. Parking is on a grassy field and even though we experienced rain later in the day, it was never slippery or muddy, ie, good drainage. Children at the wedding reception enjoyed petting the photogenic llamas.

The reception lodge was plenty large enough for over 100 guests with plenty of additional space, allowing for a perfect rain or shine event, and the covered porch was comfy and provided spectacular mountain views. The landscaping was gorgeous; in short, the setting could not have been more heavenly. There was no need for an event planner, as Cheri's many years of experience and dedication were invaluable and deeply appreciated. She really knows her stuff!! Best of all, she has a great sense of humor and was fun to work with, and her pride of ownership and thoughtful attention to detail made the wedding day an absolutely wonderful, memorable occasion!

Our wedding pictures turned out gorgeous and everyone from out of town gushed over the scenery. Being an out of town bride, the event staff was very accommodating and always answered my many questions (and follow up questions) promptly and thoroughly. We also didn't buy the right type of sparklers for our send-off and they happened to have some on hand for our guests to use. Totally above and beyond! The only reason I didn't give 5 stars is that they have the bride get ready in the women's restroom. The same restroom that many of my guests wished to use upon arriving at the venue. Not everyone saw me before I walked down the aisle but the wow-factor was taken away a tiny bit as many of my female friends and family members had already seen me in my dress. Also it was a bit stressful trying to calm my nerves before the wedding but having to greet people as they walked in the restroom door. I would still totally recommend the venue though, it was amazing!

It truly doesn't get much better than this lovely view. They have a little Island surrounded by the river, with a bridge leading to it as a ceremony space for weddings. It is serene and inviting. They also have a large fire pit with built in tiered stone seating around it. The covered pavilion nearby makes a great space for a wedding reception, a family reunion or really any gathering. The grounds at Olivette are well-maintained, green and beautiful. There are wild flowers growing, healthy trees and lots of trails. The houses on the land are stunning. They're all new and from what I was reading on their website are energy efficient with beautiful views of the river or the forest. I would love to live here or attend another event here.

Felicia's son Doug did not even come out to see myself, my son, my future daughter-in-law and her mother while we were there for a tasting...which by the way was terrible...probably why he didn't show his face!! Besides the fact that he had ruffled his 87 yr old mother's feathers(the supposed director) right before we arrived for tour and tasting.
